Vlad Morozov Over 6 Figures In World Cup Earnings After Dubai

FINA WORLD CUP DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

Russia’s Vladimir Morozov has become the second swimmer in 2016 to break six figures in prize money on the FINA World Cup circuit with an $8.5K meet in Dubai.

Morozov has now racked up $105K for the season, second only to Katinka Hosszu‘s $122.5K. Both are in line for $50,000 cluster bonuses this weekend as long as they don’t blow huge point leads at the cluster finale in Doha.

Jeanette Ottesen ($64K), Chad le Clos ($61.2K), Philip Heintz ($52.5K) and Yulia Efimova ($51.7K) are the other top earners so far, all breaking $50,000 in prize earnings.

PRIZE MONEY SYSTEM

Event Prizes

Prize money is given to the top 3 in each individual event:

  • Gold: $1500
  • Silver: $1000
  • Bronze: $500

NEW IN 2016: Prize money is also given to the top 3 mixed relay teams (though no series points are earned).

  • Gold: $3000
  • Silver: $2000
  • Bronze: $1000

In our money lists, we’ve given each relay member one quarter of that money, which amounts to $750 for a win, $500 for second and $250 for third.

Wow! So Hosszu and Morozov will make $250K – $300K in just 9 meets?! Is my math wrong?

This would be a great system to have in America, post-grad swimmers would have a way to support themselves(and if the NCAA ever decides to share their billions and allow college athletes to compete for money, the quality of competition would get even better)

Then the first thing college athletes could do is re imburse the state taxpayer . Good idea.

Music and band majors can earn money playing at bars, why can’t athletes use their skills while they’re at their peak to support themselves? Not everyone has a full ride or rich parents to help with car/phone payments etc

Yes but there’ s no biz like showbiz . That $100 bucks on a Saturday night might be the pinnacle of their career . Be sensitive to these poor things – like none are goi g to make it .
